Episode description

If you know me even a little bit, you know that I like to have the conversations. I believe in addressing things, not ignoring -a polite way of saying avoiding  them.

My 10 year old niece knows this about me, and told me I had to watch American Idol “because there’s this guy who’s really really good but also, Aunt Sam, (said reallllly quickly, because she talks a mile a minute and never seems to need to stop for a breath ) his dad died and he’s sad, like you, and he talks about his dad like you talk about Uncle Jim.” 
Ten years old.

And she recognizes the difference between how I have the conversations and how most of the rest of the world….. does not.

I started watching Iam Tongi’s journey, from his incredibly moving audition to his equally powerful victory. And I discovered that American Idol addresses grief better than the world. ABC handles grief better than the world.

On today’s episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss American Idol Winner, Iam Tongi’s journey. Not his American Idol journey. His healing journey.

And I discuss what the world can learn from ABC. Thank you ABC and American Idol, for a much needed lesson on life, loss, love, and hope
